Authors, as creative as
we may be, are often creatures of habit. We have our favorite pens, places to
work, music to listen to, scents, times of the day, temperatures, sounds, etc.
Our favorites are generally the things that make us most comfortable and let
our ideas flow freely.
For me, I like blue or
black click pens with a built-in rubber grip. I do most of my work in the
living room rather than my office, mostly because it’s warmer and more
comfortable. I work better in the morning and like the scent of vanilla or
chocolate covered cherries.
We also have our
favorite stories, though many of us will never admit it. It’s like picking your
favorite child, which I will never do. But, when it comes to my stories, I do
have some that I like better than others. Why? I spent more time with them,
researched like crazy, developed the characters more, and enjoyed every bit of
the process. One of the stories in my favorites is Made For Her. I did a lot
of research about the process of cloning, flying planes, and even had an
airline pilot help me with a scene or two.
This month, Made For Her celebrates two years
published, and has been mentioned on USA Today twice (here
and here) and also on io9, a site that talks about all things
science and sci-fi, as one of the Best
Science Fiction Romance Novels You’ve Probably Never Heard Of. Quite an
honor for me. And because I’m celebrating a book birthday, I’ve asked my
publisher to mark this story down to 99¢ for the month. If you have not read
this story, I hope you’ll take a chance on a sexy clone named Dare who’s also a
military pilot in training.
Made For Her
Erotic Sci-Fi Military Romance
ISBN: 978-1613334348
After terrorists murder the love of her
life, Colonel Mikayla Jones trains squadron after squadron of the clones he
brought to life, to take to the skies. When she discovers a young clone of her
husband in her newest class, her world spins out of control. How can she
command the look-a-like when she can’t help but yearn for him to fill an ache
in her heart?
Dare was created to be the best. As the
first Daniel clone to leave Onatria labs, he needs to prove he is more than
just a DNA copy. To do that, he must rely on the wife of the man who donated
his genes. But when she refuses to train him, Dare faces discharge and
returning to the labs. Can he convince Colonel Jones to finish his training and
find a way into her bed? Or will long kept secrets unhinge the entire clone
project?

Excerpt:
Colonel Jones
eyed each one of her new cadets, examining the neatness of their uniforms,
while inspecting for signs of stress or over-anxiousness. She’d never seen the
telltale muscle twitches or sweats in any previous clones, only in human-borns,
but she had to look for them anyway.
The first
generation of clones didn’t live long enough to become cadets. Their hearts
gave out within a year after incubation. But the scientists at Onatria had
plowed on, utilizing more of Daniel’s research, speeding up the aging process
with hormones to create the perfect generation she saw before her.
She’d had female
clones in previous squadrons, but the government filled the one in front of her
with testosterone-driven masculinity. If she’d been younger, she’d have a hard
time concentrating. But her days of crushes and fantasies were long over. She
was devoted to serving her country and planet, and nothing else.
That didn’t
stop her from going out on the town for a stress-relieving fuck from time to
time. But these young men in front of her appeared so virile, sure to last
longer than any of her previous sexual partners.
No. As
junior officers, and more importantly, as clones, they were off limits.
Inspecting them
gave her the opportunity to check out more than their fatigues and tics, but if
they knew her thoughts, they’d walk all over her. She’d be done.
They were of
varying nationalities, builds, and heights, all fit to serve the planet. None
of the cadets revealed any indication he would put the lives of others in
jeopardy. This will be an easy squadron, every one of them ready to fly in a
matter of weeks.
She reached the
last cadet and froze. Her stomach clenched. No, they couldn’t have!
She pivoted on her heel and rushed off
the tarmac, leaving the squad without an instructor.
